How has Community Bank of Rowan been able to grow and prosper in a difficult economic
environment?
In times of uncertainty in the economy, it is important to know your bank is strong
and able to weather difficult market conditions. At Community Bank of Rowan, 2008
was an outstanding year in growth and profitability.
As a community bank, we know our customers. When you work in the same community,
your children play on the same ball team or you attend the same church, it is easy
to know the character of your customers. Character remains an important part of
community banking and our success.
We distinguish ourselves from the competition by empowering our employees to make
decisions. When a customer has a need, our employees have the authority to meet
their needs. As community bankers, we also know that it is important to support
our customers during difficult times. Our bank is committed to helping see our customers
through the uncertainties that we are all facing.
Our bank is different from our competitors because of the commitment, loyalty and
hard work of our employees and directors. From the day the bank opened, everyone
has worked as a team and has been committed to being the premier community bank
in Rowan County. Community is not just part of our name, it is a way of life and
it is about treating customers the way they want to be treated. That is why at Community
Bank of Rowan our “Customers Are Always First.”
